Outcomes of chemotherapy/chemoradiation vs. R2 surgical debulking vs. palliative care in nonresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer. TUMORI JOURNAL 2024; 110:360-365. [PMID: 38726768 PMCID: PMC11459869 DOI: 10.1177/03008916241253130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024]
Abstract
Locally recurrent rectal cancer is resected with clear margins in only 50% of cases, and these patients achieve a three-year survival rate of 50%. Outcomes and therapeutic strategies for nonresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer have been much less explored. The aim of the study was to assess the three-year progression-free survival and the three-year overall survival in locally recurrent rectal cancer patients treated by chemotherapy/chemoradiation only vs. chemotherapy/chemoradiation and R2 surgical debulking vs. palliative care. A total of 86 patients affected by nonresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer were included: three-year progression-free survival was 15.8% with chemotherapy/chemoradiation vs. 20.3% with R2 surgical debulking (Log-rank p=0.567), but both rates were higher than best palliative care (0.0%, Log-rank p=0.0004). Three-year overall survival rates were respectively 62.0%, 70.8% and 0.0% (Log-rank p<0.0001). Chemotherapy/chemoradiation (HR 0.33, p=0.028) and R2 surgical debulking with or without chemotherapy/chemoradiation (HR 0.23, p=0.005) were independent predictors of improved progression-free survival on multivariate analysis. In conclusion, both chemotherapy/chemoradiation alone and R2 surgery with or without chemotherapy/chemoradiation provide a survival benefit over palliative care in nonresectable locally recurrent rectal cancer. However, considering that pelvic debulking is burdened by a high rate of complications, and considering its negligible impact on progression-free survival and overall survival when associated to medical therapy, surgery should be avoided in this setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) has been well proven, but its impact on patients who relapse remains unknown. This study aims to elucidate the influence of initial treatment and MRI-defined risk factors on postrecurrent survival in patients with LARC recurrence. PATIENTS AND METHODS LARC patients who underwent radical surgery and subsequently developed recurrence were retrospectively identified. Patients were stratified on the basis of MRI-defined local risk assessment and the initial treatment modality for the primary tumor (NAT or primary surgery). The patients were classified into four groups: high-risk LARC with NAT (HiN), high-risk LARC with primary surgery (HiS), low-risk LARC with NAT (LoN), and low-risk LARC with primary surgery (LoS). The primary endpoint was survival after recurrence. RESULTS A total of 381 patients who experienced relapse were identified from among 2329 LARC patients. Salvage surgery was performed on 33.1% of these patients. Patients who experienced single-site recurrence or who underwent salvage surgery exhibited significantly prolonged survival times after recurrence (P < 0.001). Patients in the HiS group had poorer survival after recurrence than those in the other three groups (P = 0.034). This subset of patients, characterized by receiving less adjuvant treatment after primary surgery, had a shorter recurrence interval than those in the other groups (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings reaffirm the prognostic significance of salvage surgery in patients from a LARC cohort who experienced relapse. Moreover, MRI-defined high-risk LARC patients who received upfront surgery without NAT had shorter intervals of recurrence and poorer survival outcomes after recurrence. Our results highlight the critical role of NAT in improving patient survival after recurrence. TRIAL REGISTRATION Supplementary registration was carried out at clinicaltrials.gov (Registration number: NCT06314737) on March 14, 2024. The study was retrospectively registered.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Up to 10% of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will experience locoregional recurrence. In the setting of prior surgery and often radiation and chemotherapy, these represent uniquely challenging cases. When feasible, surgical resection offers the best chance for oncologic control yet risks significant morbidity. Studies have consistently indicated that a negative surgical resection margin is the strongest predictor of oncologic outcomes. Chemoradiation is often recommended to increase the chance of an R0 resection, and in cases of close/positive margins, intraoperative radiation/brachytherapy can be utilized. In patients who are not surgical candidates, radiation can provide symptomatic relief. Ongoing phase III trials are aiming to address questions regarding the role of reirradiation and induction multiagent chemotherapy regimens in this population.

Abstract
For patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC), the response rate to chemoradiotherapy is 40%-50%. Additionally, only approximately 40%-50% of patients with recurrent rectal cancer are able to undergo R0 resection. Recent studies in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) have shown promising synergistic effects when combining immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies) with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Therefore, incorporating immunotherapy into the treatment regimen for LRRC patients has the potential to further improve response rates and prognosis. To investigate this, the TORCH-R trial was conducted. This prospective, single-arm, two-cohort, phase II trial focuses on the use of hypofractionated radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy in LRRC patients without or with oligometastases. The trial will include two cohorts: cohort A consists of rectal cancer patients who are treatment-naive for local recurrence, and cohort B includes patients with progressive disease after first-line chemotherapy. Cohort A and cohort B patients will receive 25-40 Gy/5 Fx irradiation or 15-30 Gy/5 Fx reirradiation for pelvic recurrence, respectively. Subsequently, they will undergo 18 weeks of chemotherapy, toripalimab, and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for all metastatic lesions between chemoimmunotherapy cycles. Decisions regarding follow-up of complete response (CR), radical surgery, sustained treatment of non-resection, or exiting the trial are made by a multidisciplinary team (MDT). The primary endpoint of this study is the local objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints include the extrapelvic response rate, duration of response, local recurrence R0 resection rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety and tolerability. Notably, this trial represents the first clinical exploration of inducing hypofractionated radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy in LRRC patients.

Abstract
(1) Background: The classification of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) is not currently standardized. The aim of this review was to evaluate pelvic LRRC according to the Beyond TME (BTME) classification system and to consider commonly associated primary tumour characteristics. (2) Methods: A systematic review of the literature prior to April 2020 was performed through electronic searches of the Science Citation Index Expanded, EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL databases. The primary outcome was to assess the location and frequency of previously classified pelvic LRRC and translate this information into the BTME system. Secondary outcomes were assessing primary tumour characteristics. (3) Results: A total of 58 eligible studies classified 4558 sites of LRRC, most commonly found in the central compartment (18%), following anterior resection (44%), in patients with an 'advanced' primary tumour (63%) and following neoadjuvant radiotherapy (29%). Most patients also classified had a low rectal primary tumour. The lymph node status of the primary tumour leading to LRRC was comparable, with 52% node positive versus 48% node negative tumours. (4) Conclusions: This review evaluates the largest number of LRRCs to date using a single classification system. It has also highlighted the need for standardized reporting in order to optimise perioperative treatment planning.

Abstract
The effect of hydronephrosis, a common complication of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), on the treatment outcome and prognosis of locally advanced or metastatic CRC remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and prognoses of patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) with hydronephrosis. Clinical data of patients with locally advanced or metastatic CRC who were attending Peking University Shenzhen Hospital and Shenzhen Cancer Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively collected. A total of 52 patients with hydronephrosis based on CT or MRI findings were selected, and their clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and survival times were analyzed. Of the 52 patients, 33 were male (63.5%), and the median age was 49 years (range, 31-76 years). A total of 15 (28.8%) patients with CRC had synchronous hydronephrosis and the remaining 37 patients had metachronous hydronephrosis. Ureters were either compressed by peritoneal or abdominal cavity metastatic lymph nodes in 34 cases (65.4%) or by direct tumor invasion in 18 cases (34.6%). However, objective response rate (ORR) was higher in the group in which ureters were compressed by peritoneal or abdominal cavity metastatic lymph nodes; ORR, disease control rate and median progression-free survival (PFS) between the two groups were not statistically different. (P>0.05). The median survival period was only 27.0 months (95% CI, 20.549-33.451) in patients complicated with malignant hydronephrosis. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that CA19-9 might be a prognostic factor for locally advanced and metastatic CRC patients with hydronephrosis. Metachronous metastatic CRC has a high incidence rate of complicated hydronephrosis. Targeted drugs in combination with chemotherapy improve the treatment efficacy and prognosis of patients. Notably, the present study found that CA19-9 level might be a prognostic factor in CRC patients with hydronephrosis.

Preoperative assessment and optimisation for pelvic exenteration in locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer: A review. Eur J Surg Oncol 2021; 48:2250-2257. [PMID: 34922810 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2021.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The pre-operative phase in planning a pelvic exenteration or extended resections is critical to optimising patient outcomes. This review summarises the key components of preoperative assessment and planning in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and locally recurrent rectal cancer (LLRC) being considered for potential curative resection. The preoperative period can be considered in 5 key phases: 1) Multidisciplinary meeting (MDT) review and recommendation for neoadjuvant therapy and surgery, 2) Anaesthetic preoperative assessment of fitness for surgery and quantification of risk, 3) Shared decision making with the patient and the process of informed consent, 4) Prehabilitation and physiological optimisation 5) Technical aspects of surgical planning. This review will focus on patients who have been recommended for surgery by the MDT and have completed neoadjuvant therapy. Other important considerations beyond the scope of this review are the various neoadjuvant strategies employed which in this patient group include Total Neo-adjuvant Therapy and reirradiation. Critical to improving perioperative outcomes is the dual aim of achieving a negative resection margin in a patient fit enough for extended surgery. Advanced, realistic communication is required pre-operatively and should be maintained throughout recovery. Optimising patient's physiological and psychological reserve with a preoperative prehabilitation programme is important, with physiotherapy, psychological and nutritional input. From a surgical perspective, image based technical preoperative planning is important to identify risk points and ensure correct surgical strategy. Careful attention to the entire patient journey through these 5 preoperative phases can optimise outcomes with the accumulation of marginal gains at multiple timepoints.

[PMID: 33963369 PMCID: PMC8105621 DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrab024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Classification of pelvic local recurrence (LR) after surgery for primary rectal cancer is not currently standardized and optimal imaging is required to categorize anatomical site and plan treatment in patients with LR. The aim of this review was to evaluate the systems used to classify locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) and the relevant published outcomes. Methods A systematic review of the literature prior to April 2020 was performed through electronic searches of the Science Citation Index Expanded, EMBASE, MEDLINE and CENTRAL databases. The primary outcome was to review the classifications currently in use; the secondary outcome was the extraction of relevant information provided by these classification systems including prognosis, anatomy and prediction of R0 after surgery. Results A total of 21 out of 58 eligible studies, classifying LR in 2086 patients, were reviewed. Studies used at least one of the following eight classification systems proposed by institutions or institutional groups (Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan-Kettering – original and modified, Royal Marsden and Leeds) or authors (Yamada, Hruby and Kusters). Negative survival outcomes were associated with increased pelvic fixity, associated symptoms of LR, lateral compared with central LR and involvement of three or more pelvic compartments. A total of seven studies used MRI with specifically defined anatomical compartments to classify LR. Conclusion This review highlights the various imaging systems in use to classify LRRC and some of the prognostic indicators for survival and oncological clearance based on these systems. Implementation of an agreed classification system to document pelvic LR consistently should provide more detailed information on anatomical site of recurrence, burden of disease and standards for comparative outcome assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A resection with clear margins (R0 resection) is the most important prognostic factor in patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). However, this is achieved in only 60 per cent of patients. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the addition of induction chemotherapy to neoadjuvant chemo(re)irradiation improves the R0 resection rate in LRRC. METHODS This multicentre, international, open-label, phase III, parallel-arms study will enrol 364 patients with resectable LRRC after previous partial or total mesorectal resection without synchronous distant metastases or recent chemo- and/or radiotherapy treatment. Patients will be randomized to receive either induction chemotherapy (three 3-week cycles of CAPOX (capecitabine, oxaliplatin), four 2-week cycles of FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin) or FOLFORI (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan)) followed by neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery (experimental arm) or neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery alone (control arm). Tumours will be restaged using MRI and, in the experimental arm, a further cycle of CAPOX or two cycles of FOLFOX/FOLFIRI will be administered before chemoradiotherapy in case of stable or responsive disease. The radiotherapy dose will be 25 × 2.0 Gy or 28 × 1.8 Gy in radiotherapy-naive patients, and 15 × 2.0 Gy in previously irradiated patients. The concomitant chemotherapy agent will be capecitabine administered twice daily at a dose of 825 mg/m2 on radiotherapy days. The primary endpoint of the study is the R0 resection rate. Secondary endpoints are long-term oncological outcomes, radiological and pathological response, toxicity, postoperative complications, costs, and quality of life. DISCUSSION This trial protocol describes the PelvEx II study. PelvEx II, designed as a multicentre, open-label, phase III, parallel-arms study, is the first randomized study to compare induction chemotherapy followed by neoadjuvant chemo(re)irradiation and surgery with neoadjuvant chemo(re)irradiation and surgery alone in patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer, with the aim of improving the number of R0 resections.

Abstract
Background Management of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) after surgery or external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) remains a clinical challenge, given the limited treatment options and unsatisfactory outcomes. This study aimed to assess long-term outcomes of computed tomography (CT)-guided radioactive 125I seed implantation in patients with LRRC and associated prognostic factors. Methods A total of 101 patients with LRRC treated with CT-guided 125I seed implantation from October 2003 to April 2019 were retrospectively studied. Treatment procedures involved preoperative planning design, 125I seed implantation, and postoperative dose evaluation. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy, adverse effects, local control (LC) time, and overall survival (OS) time. Results All the patients had previously undergone surgery or EBRT. The median age of patients was 59 (range, 31–81) years old. The median follow-up time was 20.5 (range, 0.89–125.8) months. The median LC and OS time were 10 (95% confidence interval (CI): 8.5–11.5) and 20.8 (95% CI: 18.7–22.9) months, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year LC rates were 44.2%, 20.7%, and 18.4%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year OS rates were 73%, 31.4%, and 5%, respectively. Univariate analysis of LC suggested that when short-time tumor response achieved partial response (PR) or complete response (CR), or D90>129 Gy, or GTV ≤ 50 cm3, the LC significantly prolonged (P=0.044, 0.041, and <0.001, respectively). The multivariate analysis of LC indicated that the short-time tumor response was an independent factor influencing LC time (P<0.001). Besides, 8.9% (9/101) of the patients had adverse effects (≥grade 3): radiation-induced skin reaction (4/101), radiation-induced urinary reaction (1/101), fistula (2/101), and intestinal obstruction (2/101). The cumulative irradiation dose and the activity of a single seed were significantly correlated with adverse effects ≥grade 3 (P=0.047 and 0.035, respectively). Conclusion CT-guided 125I seed implantation is a safe and effective salvage treatment for LRRC patients who previously underwent EBRT or surgery. D90 and GTV significantly influenced prognosis of such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-associated death in the world. The 5-year local recurrence rates in patients undergoing multimodality therapy are approximately 5-10%. The standard approach to treat locally recurrent rectal is re-irradiation followed by surgical resection. Recent reports have suggested that the treatment outcomes with carbon ion radiation therapy (CIRT) in recurrent rectal cancer are promising and have superior results compared to photon therapy. Hence, we performed a systematic review to evaluate the patterns of care and treatment outcomes of recurrent rectal cancer patients treated with CIRT. METHODOLOGY We performed a systematic search to identify the articles that reported on CIRT use in recurrent rectal cancer. RESULTS Systematic search of PubMed and Cochrane Central resulted in 98 abstracts. Eight studies fulfilled the predefined inclusion criteria. Among eight studies, one study is a prospective phase I/II study done in Japan; three prospective studies are ongoing (PANDORA-01 trial, HIMAT1351trial, and a phase II study of reirradiation for prior CIRT), and five studies are institutional reports on role of CIRT. These studies were predominantly reported from Japan and Germany. All reports except one were performed in patients who have not received prior radiation. The most commonly utilized treatment prescription was 73.4 Gy (RBE) in 16 fractions over 4 weeks in patients without any prior history of radiation and 36 Gy in 12 fractions over 3 weeks at 3 Gy per fraction in patients with prior photon radiation to the pelvis. There is one ongoing trial assessing the role of carbon ion re-irradiation in patients who had prior CIRT for rectal cancer. CONCLUSION CIRT holds immense promise in improving outcomes in locally recurrent rectal cancer. There is a need for more multi-institutional prospective clinical trials to assess the role of CIRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improvements in the multimodality treatment for patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC), oncological outcomes remain poor. This study evaluated the effect of induction chemotherapy and subsequent chemo(re)irradiation on the pathologic response and the rate of resections with clear margins (R0 resection) in relation to long-term oncological outcomes. METHODS All consecutive patients with LRRC treated in the Catharina Hospital Eindhoven who underwent a resection after treatment with induction chemotherapy and subsequent chemo(re)irradiation between January 2010 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Induction chemotherapy consisted of CAPOX/FOLFOX. Endpoints were pathologic response, resection margin and overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS), local recurrence free survival (LRFS), and metastasis free survival (MFS). RESULTS A pathologic complete response was observed in 22 patients (17%), a "good" response (Mandard 2-3) in 74 patients (56%), and a "poor" response (Mandard 4-5) in 36 patients (27%). An R0 resection was obtained in 83 patients (63%). The degree of pathologic response was linearly correlated with the R0 resection rate (p = 0.026). In patients without synchronous metastases, pathologic response was an independent predictor for LRFS, MFS, and DFS (p = 0.004, p = 0.003, and p = 0.024, respectively), whereas R0 resection was an independent predictor for LRFS and OS (p = 0.020 and p = 0.028, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Induction chemotherapy in addition to neoadjuvant chemo(re)irradiation is a promising treatment strategy for patients with LRRC with high pathologic response rates that translate into improved oncological outcomes, especially when an R0 resection has been achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Population-based studies of treatment of locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) are lacking. The aim was to investigate the surgical treatment of patients with LRRC at a national population-based level. METHODS All patients undergoing abdominal resection for primary rectal cancer between 1995 and 2002 in Sweden with LRRC as a first event were included. Detailed information about treatment, complications and outcomes was collected from the medical records. The patients were analysed in three groups: patients who had resection of the LRRC, those treated without tumour resection and patients who received best supportive care only. RESULTS In all, 426 patients were included in the study. Of these, 149 (35·0 per cent) underwent tumour resection, 193 (45·3 per cent) had treatment without tumour resection and 84 (19·7 per cent) received best supportive care. Abdominoperineal resection was the most frequent surgical procedure, performed in 65 patients (43·6 per cent of those who had tumour resection). Thirteen patients had total pelvic exenteration. In total, 63·8 per cent of those whose tumour was resected had potentially curative surgery. After tumour resection, 62 patients (41·6 per cent) had a complication within 30 days. Patients who received surgical treatment without tumour resection had a lower complication rate but a significantly higher 30-day mortality rate than those who underwent tumour resection (10 versus 1·3 per cent respectively; P = 0·002). Of all patients included in the study, 22·3 per cent had potentially curative treatment and the 3-year survival rate for these patients was 56 per cent. CONCLUSION LRRC is a serious condition with overall poor outcome. Patients undergoing curative surgery have an acceptable survival rate but substantial morbidity. There is room for improvement in the management of patients with LRRC.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the efficacy and safety of carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from patients with LRRC treated with C-ion RT from November 2003 to December 2014 at three institutions were retrospectively analyzed. The endpoints of this clinical trial were overall survival (OS), local control (LC), and acute/late toxicity. RESULTS A total of 224 patients' data were collected. The prescribed dose was 70.4 Gy (relative biological effectiveness [RBE]-weighted absorbed dose) or 73.6 Gy (RBE) in 16 fractions. The median follow-up period from the initiation of C-ion RT was 62 months (range 6-169 months). The OS rates were 73% (95% confidence interval [CI], 67%-79%) at 3 years and 51% (95%CI 44%-58%) at 5 years. The LC rates were 93% (95%CI 88%-96%) at 3 years, and 88% (95%CI 82%-93%) at 5 years. Grade 3 acute toxicity was observed in three patients: gastrointestinal toxicity (n = 1) and pelvic infection (n = 2). Grade 3 late toxicity was observed in 12 patients: skin reaction (n = 2), gastrointestinal toxicity (n = 2), neuropathy (n = 1), and pelvic infection (n = 7). There was no grade 4 or 5 acute or late toxicity. CONCLUSIONS This first multi-institutional analysis of C-ion RT for LRRC indicated relatively favorable outcomes with limited toxicities.

Management and prognosis of locally recurrent rectal cancer - A national population-based study. Eur J Surg Oncol 2017; 44:100-107. [PMID: 29224985 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2017.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2017] [Revised: 10/27/2017] [Accepted: 11/16/2017] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of local recurrence of rectal cancer (LRRC) has decreased but the condition remains a therapeutic challenge. This study aimed to examine treatment and prognosis in patients with LRRC in Sweden. Special focus was directed towards potential differences between geographical regions and time periods. METHOD All patients with LRRC as first event, following primary surgery for rectal cancer performed during the period 1995-2002, were included in this national population-based cohort-study. Data were collected from the Swedish Colorectal Cancer Registry and from medical records. The cohort was divided into three time periods, based on the date of diagnosis of the LRRC. RESULTS In total, 426 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Treatment with curative intent was performed in 149 patients (35%), including 121 patients who had a surgical resection of the LRRC. R0-resection was achieved in 64 patients (53%). Patients with a non-centrally located tumour were more likely to have positive resection margins (R1/R2) (OR 5.02, 95% CI:2.25-11.21). Five-year survival for patients resected with curative intent was 43% after R0-resection and 14% after R1-resection. There were no significant differences in treatment intention or R0-resection rate between time periods or regions. The risk of any failure was significantly higher in R1-resected patients compared with R0-resected patients (HR 2.04, 95% CI:1.22-3.40). CONCLUSION A complete resection of the LRRC is essential for potentially curative treatment. Time period and region had no influence on either margin status or prognosis.
